32 -35

I have been going through so many emotions lately. I has been a whorl wind of crazy adventures.

Last weekend I took a super fast trip to Vancouver, I got my Visa Application and Student Loan application in, all in 1 go. It was a 24 hour trip and my mum and I slept in the back of our truck. Quite an experience, the weather was horrible driving down to Vancouver. There was a nasty thunder storm, hail, buckets upon buckets of rain and I was driving most of the gross part. On the way back it was lovely. We had a wonderful drive coming home.  Of course, right? Going down is so much stress, coming back you're as free as a bird. Well sort of.

However, going back to work was interesting. After doing something about college after months of not really doing much, and then suddenly doing something was hard. I just really want to be back in school. I miss going and learning things, I miss having friends that I can have conversations with (that last more then 5 minutes.) It makes me really appreciate my education. I worked for it, it wasn't just handed to me. I have put a lot of passion and emotional commitment into this, it's not just some flippant desire.

Anyway, so about more of my week. I did have a small freak out and my mum got the wrath of it. I know she has done a lot for me this past year, and getting down to the wire I am freaking out. I am so nervous, anxious, frustrated, annoyed and perplexed about so many things that we had a little row. Oh look I am already using British terms! Then she left for the weekend to spend time with her best friend, which I am glad she did. She has been under a lot of pressure and stress herself with her business, it was really unfair of me to blow up on her. Hind sight is always 20/20. I wish it was foresight is 20/20 most of the time, and when you need it to be. But sadly, that phrase is too long. I would be bored saying it after the first 5 words. But going to college is stressful enough, I had to hear about my cousin last year, and going over seas is stressful too. So both together creates a really stiff and sore neck. I could really use a massage, hint hint, wink wink. ;D

So another thing that I have accomplished, a jumpsuit that I made for my great aunt. I finally finished it! It took me such a long time because I had to go back and forth between cities and finding time between 2 jobs to actually do it. Lets just say that if I was given a giant room, her body, and 3 days. It would have been done. Well I finally got it done and she loves it! It is always a plus when the customer loves what you did. Such a good feeling, and another thing I can cross off my list before I leave. One less stresser. YAY!

The only thing that is REALLY stressing me, is my accommodation. With the Olympics right now everyone wants to think about long term tenants after the Olympics. Which I get, but it just means that EVERYTHING is going to happen in August. My flights, Visa, Student Loan, accommodation and the last days of working will all happen at the very end. I can see the finish line, I know its close, it just seems like a universe away. Until I actually get on the plane, THEN it will sink in.
But there is good news about my living situation. I have found some flatmates that are looking for a 5th person to room with them. They are just in the process of finding a place and will give me an address when they have one. As well as pictures, so I can see where I will be living. They have already assured me that I will not be sleeping with mice or cuddling with a rain bucket. They did say that I might get the cupboard under the stairs though. I almost died when they told me that. OMG HILARIOUS!

But all in all, good feelings. I just have to stay positive and remember to write things down, keep my brain uncluttered, so that I can stay focused on the plan at hand.

....and on a side note, one of my best friends and I are going to see Nicki Minaj in concert in 2 weekends. I am a LITTLE excited. It is kind of like our 'Summer treat/Au Revoir' for this year.
